Application Guidelines - Benedum We ask each organization to carefully review the Foundation’s Mission and Guiding Principles , and our grants program descriptions prior to applying for a grant. As you might expect, the Foundation receives more applications than we are able to fund in any one year, meaning that a number of proposals which fall within the description of the Foundation’s grants program may not be selected for funding.
If you are unsure if your project fits within our guidelines, or if you have not spoken with a Program Staff member, please email a brief description of the project to info@benedum. org . A staff member will contact you within 10 business days of your inquiry.
